Acts 20.17-38-In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." When he has said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Judges 14-15-And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.
Job 42-The LORD restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends...
Revelation 21.10, 22-22.5-Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming form the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kings of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Work hard, kneel in prayer with friends, pray for friends, feel the strength of My Spirit break free the bonds of sin, pain and death and know that I will heal all things.

This is my son Bryan. He visited last evening. It's good to talk to him. It's good to share our life stories with one another. It's good to spend time with family. Family that care and love for one another. Family that depend on each other and can talk about anything. It's good to hear and see in his youth the things that we strive to teach as he was growing up in our home. Like hard work, prayer, friendship, the graciousness of God, God's active Spirit in our lives, and the freedom God brings from sin, pain and death. It's good to have in common the understanding that God will, in the end, heal all things. God will restore all creation to His original intentions of it before we sinful beings destroyed it. God gives hope, love and salvation. God gives family. God gives blessings far beyond the pains of life. I'm proud of my son. I know of another proud Father and an awesome Son too! Thanks be to God!

Lord, thank you for sending my son to see me. And thank you for sending Your Son to save us all. ---Amen
